While MailMate is hanging, you can create a sample using Activity 
Monitor or by using a Terminal command like this:

	sample MailMate 5 > ~/Desktop/mailmate_sample.txt

Also, try the latest test release (r6047) to make sure it's not related 
to a fixed issue: https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/

Only low-level and this might not be easy to decipher. You can launch 
MailMate from a Terminal window like this:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate TimersEnabled -bool YES
	/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate

It might provide a hint, but it's mainly a debug tool for me to some 
times learn more about where something is slow. You are welcome to send 
results to me directly.

Well, you can change the “input” (the settings in the Mailboxes pane 
of the mailbox editor) to an empty or small mailbox. Alternatively, if 
most of the setup is based on All Messages or Inbox then go these 
folders and add some condition which makes the sets smaller.
